In addition, there is promising research going on right now that shows mind body techniques influence gene expression signatures. Those who use mind body techniques have gene signatures that have been associated with clear health benefits. Although more research needs to be done, this could prove to be a great technique in the prevention of the most serious diseases we face including cancer and cardiovascular diseases.

These benefits are tremendous and a great reason to share this site or your favorite meditation book with your friends and family.
